`This inventionrelates tol Windowsi and more particularly to the type ofwindow in` which thesasl'i `is hinged to the frame. t

for arwindo'w which will insure a close peripheral fit between the sash and frame when the sash is closed but which at the `saine time will also allow the sash to swing `in such a manner that. itsedges will notjainb or bind against thefraine. `Another object is the provision of sucha hinge :which Will be located entirely betweenvthe front and` rear faces of ,the window frame `so that it will not be bent orbroken in handling, as during shipment, storage, etc.

` Another object is'the provision` of im` proved means for securing panes in thewindow sash. Other` objects and various fea- 3o turesof novelty ,will be apparent from the following description of one embodinientof the invention when read in connection with the appended drawings foriningja part this specification, and in which: t

Referring more particularly to the drawinjgs wherein like freferei'ice` characters refer to like `parts throughout the several views,

10 denotes `a window `frame preferably of4 edges 11. `Anobject of this invention is the `provi-y 5 sionof an improved construction in hinges proved" means for, preventing the leakage of extending from the inside and outside edges respectively, of then rearwardly extending Closely fitting within this window frame .10 is a sash 314 preferably formed of` angler* iron sections.V The sash 14 is conveniently made up with a peripheral or border fram@` 15 of L-shapedsection, which in theiclosed position of the sash is adapted to lie closely behind the `inner flange 12 of the "window frame. The sasliimay, if desired, be subdivided for small` panes byl T`shaped ibars or niullions 16. y y t `Hinge members 18 areeinployed to sup:` portthe sash 141 withinithefraine 101i Each 19, an angularly bent tab201 at the upperend, anda hook-shaped portion 21 at the rlower end. Slots 23 areformed in theuppenedge of the window frame to receive theshank ofthe hinge members.` qThis slot is located a` sufficient distance fronilthe ed es of the frame to insure that no portion ofthe hinge member `will extend beyond either the front or the rear faces of theframe.` jThisis'gan important feature since it prevents `bending or breaking of the' hinge members` innhanfl dling. `The tab 20 ofthe hinge meinberis Welded or otherwise lsuitably secured yto the top face of the frame edge 11,` in such position thatthe-hookportion 21 opens' toward the rear of the frame. y u 1 i -1 `Slots25 are formed in the upper edge of the `sash, frame through which the shank ofthe hinge member extends. The Width of uncut `metal at che rear of eachV slot 25 `is greater thantlie width of opening r,of the hook, ortis spaced a sufficientdistancefroni the front edgeof the slot, so that in the closed "position of the sash the pivot bar 26 formed of thisuncutmctal'Will rest upon the upper end` of the upstanding portion ofthe hook'. This provision is made to keep the space bntween' the sash and'fraineassmalhas possi-` ble. The thickness "of the' pivot vbar 26 made less than the width of the hook opcujing so that when thesash is swung `open this :pivot-bar Will drop edgewise into the hook,

y to prevent binding ofthe rear upper edge of the sash frame upon the y rear edge of the `windowframe. The lengthof radius from the hinge to the bottoni ofthe sashis suliciently greatto insure that there will heno bindinghere Whilethe sash is swinging out `even'when only a smallbottom clearance is provided. This i construction `j is clearly y, f, `of these members consistsof a shankfportion f Another object of` theinvention is the pro- 'between the upper end ot' the upstai'iding portion ot' the hook and the lower tace ci the upper side ot the frame so that the pivot bar may be litted and'- passed out kot the hook as kshownin Figure fl. to remove the sash trom the trame.

Figures 4 and 5 show the means provided for leading water trom the jron't ofthe window to prevent its entry into the building. Here a forwardly entendine` iiange is provided on the bottom bar or the sash trame. This flange is longer than the width between the inneredges ofthe vertical flanges 12 of' the window frame so notches 28 are cut in the flanges l2 at the bottom oit the 'traine to receive the ends of the Hang-e 2f?. This tlange then constitutes a drip table ttor the window. The purposel of: making the ends of the ilanges 27 longer than th'e open width of the window' fram'e'is to insure that none oiI the water running'down the vertical faces of the sash frame exposed alongside the :trameflanges l2A will iindV an opening` leading downward. Such waterv willfencounter the end of the flange 27 land be carried away.I

'. The window sash islocked to the frame by means of a loc-king Y pin` 30 which passes through alignedfopenings 3l and 32 in the 'sash and the window frames. The openings -land 32 are disposed close to the position taken by the panes when secured in the sash. rllherefore, a Apull ring- 33 provided on the locking pin is `formed; on one side of; the shank thereoit so there will be no interference in inserting or removingy the saine.

lVhile the Vone embodiment. ot' this invention has been described partieularlygit `will beevident that other embodiments'mav be devised and are contemplated. The applicant.y therefore rdesires it to be understood that the invention is not to ybe limited except by the prior lart and the scope ot the ap.q pended claims.
